Poodle Sock It to Me: Irish dance hosiery regulations and origins

A few years ago, the Irish dance scene was buzzing over a proposed hosiery mandate that would force ladies aged 18 and older to wear black tights in competition, banning adult ladies from feising in the standard white poodle sock. The call to prohibit the popular mid-calf white quilted socks among mature dancers was dismissed, but the discussion opened up a whole can of worms regarding dancers’ footwear. Sexton is one of the few dance teachers who’s taken advantage of vague sock rule wording. For 25 years, dancers from his New Jersey school have been dancing in “lemony yellow” poodle socks in competition and for shows. His thought behind dyeing white socks yellow is simple: yellow socks match the yellow uniform blouse. “That is the costume,” Sexton said. “This is standard.

knitting & other distractions: more gold medal socks?

Two years ago my elder daughter had an amazing year in her gymnastics competitions. She placed 2nd, 1st and 4th in her qualifiers and 2nd at the provincial championships. And why did she do so well? Because on the way to every competition I worked on a pair of socks for her that I nicknamed the Gold Medal Socks. I haven't knit a Gold Medal Sock since then and she hasn't done very well. In other sock knitting news, last night I found a DPN that I lost in my car a year and a half ago. I had searched high and low for that thing, cleaned out the car, vacuumed the floors. I didn't miss an inch. And then last night I reached down for the handle to recline my seat and grabbed the needle instead. Maybe the cosmos is telling me I should use that set for the Gold Medal Socks.
